Wagon brANCH

tHE nAME

Since emancipation, our family has called the one-mile loop known as Wagon Branch Loop home. Nestled in the heart of the Gullah Geechee corridor in coastal South Carolina, our family story intertwines with the rich cultural tapestry of this historic region. Like many Black families in this area, we are actively engaged in the ongoing fight to preserve the traditions and legacies passed down through generations.

Catherine and Meredith, are committed to ensure that the stories, practices, and values of Wagon Branch are not only remembered but also shared with future generations. Through various forms of media, including, novels, short films, and scripts Catherine and Meredith hope to create and share Black Southern Stories.

In recognition of our family’s roots and the significance of this place, we’ve named our creative endeavor, Wagon Branch. This project embodies our connection to the land, our community, and the enduring spirit of resilience and creativity that defines the Gullah Geechee heritage.
